Then, she looked at the spoiled girl with a serious expression.

He said calmly, "Miss, we're just here to buy furniture and don't want any trouble."

"Please also have some self-respect and don't cause trouble for no reason."

At this moment, the shopkeeper was called out by his assistant, and his eyes lit up when he saw the girl.

He immediately greeted her warmly, "Miss Jia, you've come! What brings you to our shop today? Please come in."

The shopkeeper, all smiles, fawned over Miss Jia, completely ignoring Xie Jingwan and her daughter.

Then, he glanced at the mother and daughter and saw that they were dressed in shabby clothes.

They felt even more strongly that the women couldn't afford the nice furniture in the store.

So the shopkeeper quietly instructed the waiter, "From now on, don't let just anyone in."

"Don't let those who don't look like they have much money wander around the store and take up space for nothing."

The waiter wanted to say something more, but seeing the shopkeeper's unquestionable gaze, he had no choice but to swallow his words.

Xie Jingwan's face darkened upon hearing the shopkeeper's words, and she was about to argue.

Lin Yuge stopped her and said softly, "Mother, there's no need to stoop to their level. Let's go check on other families."

Xie Jingwan nodded and turned to leave.

At this moment, Miss Jia said sarcastically, "Hmph, as expected of a poor person, can't even afford decent furniture."

"Hurry up and leave, don't get in the way."

She was sticking to me like a leech.

Lin Yuge turned around and prepared to step forward.

"Who said they can't afford it?" A steady voice came from the doorway.

Everyone heard this and went away.

A middle-aged couple walked in through the door, the woman holding a small child's hand.

Upon seeing Lin Yuge, the child immediately broke free from the woman's hand and ran towards her.

He shouted, "Sister Yuge!"

Lin Yuge was stunned for a moment, then looked closely.

Then I remembered that it was the little boy I had rescued from drowning last time.

She quickly squatted down, picked up the child, and said, "Oh, it's you, little one!"

Lin'er hugged Lin Yuge's neck tightly and said excitedly, "Sister Yuge, I missed you so much."

"Jingwan? Is that you?"

At this moment, the woman stepped forward, grasped Xie Jingwan's hand, and asked with tears in her eyes.

"Cousin, it's me."

Xie Jingwan's voice trembled slightly, her eyes filled with the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

She held Shang Suniang's hand tightly, as if afraid that she would disappear if she let go.

"Cousins, where have you been all these years? We've been looking everywhere but haven't heard from you," Xie Jingwan asked anxiously.

Shang Suniang patted her hand reassuringly.

"This is a long story. Let's deal with what's in front of us first, and then we can sit down and talk about it slowly."

At this moment, the shopkeeper was trembling so badly that he almost collapsed to the ground.

He stepped forward and bowed deeply to Su Shenghe.

He said with a look of fear, "Master, I was blind to your greatness."

"I was unaware that this lady and young lady have such a relationship with you two."

Su Shenghe narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression cold and stern, and said in a deep voice, "What, you think you can just kick out guests like that just because there's nothing wrong with you?"

"Old Zhou, I think you're getting more and more confused as a manager."

"The worst thing you can do in business is to judge a book by its cover. Your actions today are truly disheartening."

The shopkeeper quickly bowed again, his voice trembling as he said, "Please calm down, sir. I know I was wrong!"

Before he could say anything more, Su Shenghe interrupted him coldly.

"Stop talking, my shop probably can't keep you here. Pack your things and leave!"

The shopkeeper was trying to plead for him, but Su Shenghe turned away and stopped looking at him.

Lin Yuge and her mother stood aside without saying a word.

After all, it was Su Sheng's business.

Helpless, the shopkeeper could only leave in anger.

Su Shenghe turned to Shang Suniang and said, "Madam, let's handle this matter as it is for now."

"Let's talk to our cousin Jingwan about her experiences over the years first."

Shang Suniang nodded in agreement, and everyone prepared to go to the backyard to sit down and talk slowly.

Seeing that the other side had a large and powerful force, the girl, though unwilling, still led her people away.

But before leaving, he glared fiercely at Lin Yuge.

I saw that she was a young girl.

Furthermore, Xie Jingwan and her cousins ​​had a lot to say to each other after their reunion.

The others didn't argue with her and let her leave.

The group arrived at the backyard, where the waiter served tea and then left.

Xie Jingwan said anxiously, "Cousin, tell me quickly, what's been going on with you all these years?"

Shang Suniang gave a bitter smile as she recalled the situation back then.

Su Shenghe was afraid of stirring up painful memories for his wife.

He hurriedly spoke up for her, saying, "Back then, we had difficulty conceiving, and my family forced me to take a concubine."

“But I am deeply in love with your cousin and I do not want things to turn out this way, so I left my hometown.”

"Over the years, we've been doing business while also seeking medical treatment everywhere. We've traveled to many places, endured a lot of hardship, and encountered many swindlers."

"But we never gave up, and that's how we had our son three years ago."

"Cousin, why didn't you tell us back then?"

Xie Jingwan held Shang Suniang's hand, her eyes filled with heartache.

“What’s the point of telling you this? It will only cause you more trouble,” Shang Suniang sighed.

She continued, "But now we've finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. I haven't properly thanked Yuge yet!"

"Last time, Lin'er was naughty and fell into the sea. Thanks to her, I can't even imagine what would have happened otherwise."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jingwan turned to look at Lin Yuge, her eyes filled with satisfaction and pride.

“This girl has always been very opinionated; I’ve never heard her mention this before.”

"Cousin Jingwan, if I remember correctly, you married the second young master of the Marquis of Ding'an's mansion, Lin. What are you doing here now?"

Su Shenghe finally voiced his doubts.

Xie Jingwan immediately fell silent.

After a while, he said indignantly, "At the beginning of the year, the King of England rebelled, and His Majesty punished him. My husband was pushed out by his superior to take the fall, and the whole family was exiled."

"I heard Yu Ge say last time that she lived in a fishing village. So you are now...?" Su Shenghe hesitated to say it.

So much time has passed, Xie Jingwan has long since accepted it all.

She nodded indifferently and said, "They were criminals! But they're much better now."

"We've met a benefactor, and now we have the opportunity to shed this identity."

"Really? That's great. I was thinking that, given our status, we probably wouldn't be able to help much with this."

"I never expected to have such a helpful person; this is truly a pleasant surprise."

Shang Suniang's tense heart finally relaxed.

Then she asked, "Jingwan, did you and Yuge come here to buy furniture? Are you building a new house?"

Xie Jingwan nodded slightly, a smile playing on her lips.

"Yes, Yuge and Qingzhou are capable. They made some money fishing and built a house."

"That's why we're in a hurry to move in, so we wanted to come and buy some ready-made furniture."

“That’s perfect. Let’s go pick some out. You can choose any furniture you like from this store. Consider it a housewarming gift from your cousin.”
